I am thinking of trying to get my masters out in California but I currently live in Michigan. I was wondering what firms are out in the LA area. I'm looking for larger firms that work on either comercial or residential or preferably both. Maybe some good apartments too. Thanks all.
do you mean corporate firms by larger firms, or just firms over maybe 25 people? and what quality of work are you looking for?
there are a huge number of firms in the LA area ranging in size and quality of work. there's a high concentration of boutique firms in the venice/santa monica area. it's a somewhat competitive job market at the more prominent well-known firms. having a contact here would help tremendously... good luck.
By large firm I mean large in size so more than 25 people. Basically I just want to start doing some research on the firms that are out there before I make the move out there. At the current situation I am in, only having my BS Arch and pretty much no experience, there aren't many jobs that I can get. I'm looking for a firm that would be good to do my IDP in and hopefully end up getting a job. I would prefre a firm that does big projects like large office buildings, arenas, airports, large apartments, etc.

Firms In LA area
Hello all,
I am thinking of trying to get my masters out in California but I currently live in Michigan. I was wondering what firms are out in the LA area. I'm looking for larger firms that work on either comercial or residential or preferably both. Maybe some good apartments too. Thanks all.
kind of a broad question for the 5th largest economy in the world...
